I think he means that it works through Wine the linux Windowz emulator.

Well you are right .

And as Andreas said, Toni hasn't done anything special to make this program work under Wine, but it works fine and i think nobody else has tried to run it under Wine ( i have tried after having reported a success running a modern pc demo at the same speed of windows native ), and i suppose there are other people interested in this feature.

Also i'm impressed that wine, as reported in its docs ( but before trying it i was really dubious ), can run a lot of software at moreless the same speed of windows.

Of course, running WinUAE under Wine is actually an emulation running within an emulation, as already mentioned. If Wine emulates Windows accurately enough, then that would let you do one more level of nested emulations than what I've ever managed before. For folks running linux, you could then run:

It's wrapping Windows OS calls to Linux calls. Not an emulator, but a wrapper.

Well, that essentially makes it a "translator" rather than an emulator, but so long as it lets you run Windows apps without Windows, that's the main thing that counts. I'll have to check it out if I ever find myself playing around with Linux.

Yeah.. :-)

I guess the guys who created WINE are more uptight about it's non-emulatorness (seeing they named it with a recursive acronym about it :-D)..

Wine's come a long way since when it was born, it's surprisingly good nowadays.
